| Details: |
Claire has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep. This morning, like all mornings, she wakes up a blank slate. Her chipper husband comes in with a cup of coffee, explains her condition, hands her a book filled with all sorts of essential information, and disappears into the shower. A limping, lisping, half-blind, half-deaf man in a ski mask, pops out from under her bed and claims to be her brother, there to save her. Claire is hustled off to the country-house of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been mostly gibberish. Claire’s journey gets even more complicated when a dimwitted thug with a foul-mouthed hand puppet pops up at a window, and her driven husband and perpetually stoned son show up with a claustrophobic lady-cop that they’ve kidnapped. Every twist and turn in this fun-house plot brings Claire closer to remembering her past life and everything she thought she’d forgotten… and why. Non-AEA. No pay; no stipend. Character Breakdown:

Generalities Auditions for our productions are usually scheduled in opening week of the previous production. We schedule two audition days for every show to make it easier for people who may be performing in other productions. No appointment is necessary to audition: Just show up at the appointed time. For the five Masquers productions each season, auditions are open to everyone. Actors who have not worked at the Masquers are especially welcome. We very seldom precast, but if we do, we will always pre-announce any precast roles. The special galas and the Envision series are often precast, and roles are generally open to Masquers members, or by invitation only. Unfortunately, we have no funds available to pay actors for their work. We are a non profit, community theatre, so we must rely on volunteers. If you are cast, you are expected to commit to the entire run. Schedule conflicts during rehearsal, however, can almost always be worked out with the Director, as long as you let him or her know. As the time approaches, information will be made available regarding what will be required for the upcoming auditions. Typically, it’s something like this: A prepared monologue and/or readings from the script for "straight" shows; for musicals, prepare a song in your key and bring the music for our accompanist. If the show involves dance, you will be shown a simple dance sequence to learn and execute. A headshot and resume are certainly not necessary, but bring them if you have them. We will take a snapshot of you and have you fill out an audition form. Performances are Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00, with some Sunday matinees and Thursday night benefits. Auditions are held at the theatre. The address of the theatre is 105 Park Place |
